By Don P. Brown

The Bowhunting Council of Okla-homa
selected two officers from the
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
Conservation to recieve prestigious
awards.
Wade Free (A), assistant director
of operations, received the council’s
President’s Award. Robert Fleenor
(LE), Law Enforcement Division
chief, received the council’s Wildlife
Professional of the Year award.
The two men were honored Feb.
9 at the council’s 2013 annual ban-quet,
held at the McAlester Army
Ammunition Plant.
Council President Bob Wiebelt
said his organization does not take
these awards lightly, and the group
works to maintain the integrity of
the honors.
Wiebelt said he selected Free
for this year’s President’s Award
because of his support for the bow-hunting
tradition.
“In several meetings at the Wild-life
Department, he has stood up for Oklahoma bowhunters
many times,” Wiebelt said.
